Solve (-225)-(+5/8)+(-3/4)-(-0125)

$$(-225)-(+ \frac{ 5 }{ 8 } )+(- \frac{ 3 }{ 4 } )-(-0125)$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{1811}{8}=-226.375$$

Solution Steps

Convert -225 to fraction -\frac{1800}{8}.

$$-\frac{1800}{8}-\frac{5}{8}-\frac{3}{4}-0\times 125$$

Since -\frac{1800}{8} and \frac{5}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-1800-5}{8}-\frac{3}{4}-0\times 125$$

Subtract 5 from -1800 to get -1805.

$$-\frac{1805}{8}-\frac{3}{4}-0\times 125$$

Least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8. Convert -\frac{1805}{8} and \frac{3}{4} to fractions with denominator 8.

$$-\frac{1805}{8}-\frac{6}{8}-0\times 125$$

Since -\frac{1805}{8} and \frac{6}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-1805-6}{8}-0\times 125$$

Subtract 6 from -1805 to get -1811.

$$-\frac{1811}{8}-0\times 125$$

Multiply 0 and 125 to get 0.

$$-\frac{1811}{8}-0$$

Subtract 0 from -\frac{1811}{8} to get -\frac{1811}{8}.

$$-\frac{1811}{8}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{1811}{8} = -226\frac{3}{8} = -226.375$$
